THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, MAY 27, 1826. [THe TIMICS.] A work has been published, entitled A Protest, on Me Subject of the Measures now impending in Parliament •in relation to the Corn Laws, AT. 80. It is signed Lauderdale, Newcastle, Montford, Ross lyn. Our business, of course, is only with the pub lication, which we insert, and not with any actual protest that may have been made in a certain assem bly. The first error which we notice is in the follow ing clause We cannot conceive how the existing distress can be stated to arise from the Corn Laws ; and we are prepared to assert that the proposed altera tion in these laws.can produce no relief to our suffer 7 ing manufacturers, for the price of a commodity mat ters not to thoSe who unfortunately are reduced to a stain that they have not, even at the lowest value, the 'ratans of acquiring it," We could hardly have be lieved that so inaccurate a representation of facts should have been sent into, the world by eminent and honourable persons, one of whom, at least, ought to he a practical man. It is totally unfounded that our journeymen manufacturers have not. had • the means of buying bread, and that they have not those means even at present, thouc'h up to an inadequate extent; and equally unfounded is it, that they are not there %bre very greatly interested in the price of corn. Our irdwuring or manufacttiring poor have never yet been reduced to a state" in which they could not at least buy a little .bread, though they had nothing else ; and to them, therefore, more than to every other class of persons, the price of that little does matter most vitally.—Last year, it is said, when wheat " was Bs. a quarter dearer than at present, Government only ad mitted A certain portion of the bonded grain, and ne ver attempted to apply to Parliament to sanction a discretionary power 'of. importing foreign wheat ;" be cause last year 'the manufacturers were in a bett e r condition, and could afford 'to buy a little more of that commodity, " the price of which 'nattered not." The second ,cause of dissent in this publication is of • great length, and is founded on a principle so totally erroneous and inapplicable,-.that we must notice it.— It is argued, that because a protecting duty of SO per cent.' was imposed upon foreign manufactured silks, on their importation, therefore a proportionate duty should be imposed on foreign corn : but we put it to common candour to say, whether any similarity exists in the two cases as thus offered to consideration. Silk; from its raw state (from that state at which wheat ceases to be an object of expense)--silk, we say, from its raw state, to its fabrication into cloth, undergoes a variety of long and delicate processes, during which long processes the home-manufacturer is eating his bread very dear, and receiving, or' having a title to receive, wages propor i tionably high ; whilst the foreign manufacturer is; .during the same long processes, eat ing his bread 'very cheap, and contenting himself with low wages. If there were not, therefore, an import duty to countervail this vast diffe re n ce , no silk cloth whatever (it is asserted) could be manufactured in fingland. But the corn grown, in England under goes no subsequent process of long operation and Multiplied parts after it is grown : it is• conveyed from the barn to the mill ; and imported grain is with equal rapidity, and by an:unexpensive operation, converted to human use. The only just point of cmuptalson, therefore, b e t ween t h e two mater i als would be this—that .as raw silk is now admitted al most duty-free, so also ought corn to be allowed to enter as it comes from the hand of nature, with an equally unoppressive impost. And be it observed, also, that even, yore raw silk to be admitted to the use of the British manufacturer wholly free from duty, he would not, therefore, have it at the same price as his foreign rival. The disadvantage of purchasing in a foreibrn market, the freight, wateri•carriage, insur ance, disembarkation, ,land-carriage, loading and .un-: loading, would make as great a differeoce in the actual cost of the article as there exists in the expense of growing corn in this country and in Poland. A word' more upon the expenses to which land is, both in the publication before ue and' in others of a similar nature, asserted to be exclusively liable, Land-tax, tithe, poor's-rate, and county rates. It would be easy to show, that every calculation of the more grievous subjection of land to these imposts - is grossly exag gerated ; but suppose the whole of them to fall exclu sively- upon the land, and corn to be kept up, as has been the case, at an high price by artificial means ; it is dear that the consumers of corn, who have to pur chase it at this high ' price, artificially produced, and not the growers of it, except so far as the growers are consumersit is clear, we say, that the people of En land generally, and not the land-owners exclu sively, are they who,pay the rates, taxes, and tithes. The land-owner, is in the situation of any retail dealer, who makes his customers pay for any, and all the taxes to which his commodity pi subjected. DRITISII PRIOR.] The success of the Russian Ultimatum is now al most certain ; and the event has most completely jue tified our anticipations. The Porte, on receiving the concurring representatione of all the European Powers, and being made sensible that force, if neces sary, would be eniploysd, found itself under the ne cessity of unwillingly complying with the terms ; and the entirely Russian part of the question being thus disposed of (t o use th e p h raseo l ogy o f the French Minister, in epeaking of, the war in Spain) nothing 310 W remains but t o se t t l e t h e entirely European and the entirely English part. We allude to the state of Greece, and the equally important question of French influ ence an d commercial tyranny in Egypt. It will be recollected that the ukimatuni was said to have contained a proviso, that a Congress should be as sembled to arrange the affairs of Greece, and such a 'meeting will no doubt take place.— Some of our contemporeries, in their anxiety to find something new, had prophesied a war between Ramie and Austria ; and others, nut aware themselves of any means of surmountin g the difficulties which pre sented themselves to their minds, had concluded that these difficulties were ineurmounteble, and spoke of a war between Russia and Turkey as inevitabl e . Th e result (of the negotiations adds One honeur more to the fame of our Foreign Minister. But that fame would be incomplete, if it could for a moment be sup posed that ulterior measures, favourable alike to the feelings and the interests of Englishmen, h a d no t b e " stipulated as the price of otir cp-op erat i ou with ussia. The remonstrances of England in f avour of the Greeks have been diregarded by the Porte . and by Ibrahim and the national honour forbids . our per mining the English .i. Ambassador at Constantinople . to remonstrate remong and memorialise , month after month, with out any perceptibie milli. If the Porte will not lietam to the friendly representations of her old and . still faithful! ally, that ally must assume a tone, however reluctantly, which will give the Porte to understand that there is a possibility of her be coming an enemy. We do not say that a war in this case will take place any more than in the other; but we do say, that our readiness to undertake such a war ought to be duly impressed upon the Turks and the Egyp tians. The question of French influence in Egypt is one to which the East India Company is bound to pay the most scrupulous attention. It is not very long since the French journalists were urging their Government to secure that country in their interest, by telling them that it was a country to which France had many claims, and for which they had made many sacrifices. They seemed even to flatter themselves that some . degree of actual superiority might be ob tained over it ; and it is much to be regretted that the French have already acquired a very great influence in Egypt, both by the number of Frenchmen hi the country,, and the facilities . permitted by the Go vernment, on account of its vicinity, to fit out ves sels for the service of the Paella in the southern ports of France. In stating this, we do not mean to imply that the French Government had formed any dangerous projects ; but by' showing what it might do, we would endeavour to trace the line of argument which must have weighed with the Eng lish Minister in taking his measures about Egypt, in concert with our allies ; and we would thus endeavour to prove, at the same time, that it is necessar y t o ma k e such demonstrations of our power, to injure the Pacha of Egypt, as may be required to make him fully sen sible of its reality and its magnitude. These demon strations are absolutely indispensible at the present moment, to secure the commercial interests of our East India Company, which would be most seriously compromised if our influence in Egypt did hot out weigh that of France, or if it were to continue so small art the conduct of the Pacha, with regard to Greece, shows it to have been on recent occasions. The possibility of som e att e mpt b e i ng ma d e by th e French Ministry to erect Egypt into an independent state, and to secure commercial advantages in copse (pence to their country, was suggested in the French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. To prevent this, England has no other course but to endeavour to secure her influence more firmly, by making Turkey and Egypt sensible of their true interests in the present conjuncture. It will be seen by this, that we consider the question of Egypt as entirely East THE ARMY.

We are informed that a renewed offer has been made to Mr. Goulburn of the representation of the city of Dublin, coming from such a variety of .iuterests and parties, as left very little doubt of his success, and probably without opposition. We un derstand, however, that the Right Hon. Gentleman considers his prospects of representing this University of too favourable a na ture to permit him to hesitate a moment in declining the offers from the metropolis of the sister kingdom. The subseriptions in this University in aid of the distressed manufacturers, amount to upwards of one thousand guineas.

CIIIMTVTIZAM, MAY Q 5. The melancholy death of the above officer has created a great sensation amongst the visiters and inhabitants of this fashionable resort ; and although the Coroner's Inquest was last night held before John Cooke,. Esq.,. at the Swan Inn, the cause which led to the act of self-destruction is involved in considerable mystery. The deceased was, it appears, an author of se►eral works upon Naval Architecture, and a brave officer ; his town residence was at: No. 84, Hans-place, Sloane-street,' and he had taken up his abode here at Woodland Cottage. He was about sixty years of age, a married man, without family. A respectable Jury assembled at the Swan Inn last night at six o'clock, and having appointed George Russel, Esq., their foreman, the Coroner proceeded in the investigation. Mr. - Sadier, the high constable, who had been indefatigable in ecillecting evidence, kc., produced a slip of paper which had been found iwar thebath, in which the deceased had been discoiered with his throat cut, on which was written, in pencil, the follow ing lines, in a strong, steady, and legible hand " Captain Edgetumbe will explain : but should he not arrive before the inquest takes place, the accompanying may be gpened by the Coroner." John Cloward, one of the guides at the bath, proved that the deceased called at the baths on Monday, and ordered a bath to be got ready for him the following day at four o'clock, at 95. heat. He came punctually on the folloiving day (Tuesday), went into the bath-room, and ordered witness. to let him remain there for an hour; deceased was particular relative to the bolt of the door ; witness was greatly astonished when he went to the bath at five o'clock, and found the deceased in the bath, quite dead, with his throat cut. There was a razor lying on the side of the bath, which was given to Mr. Sadler. The' deceased had undressed himself, and had hung up his clothes in the greatest order. -Jacob Jeremiah Holdship, a Quaker,. affirmed, that he was manager of the baths, and had known the deceased for three year , ; he had been changeable and wavering within the last three weeks. Witness saw him conic to the bath, and he gave witness a note or lettei to take to Mrs. Layman. Witness saw him in the bath in the situation described, quite dead ; he found the slip of paper given to Mr. Sadler (quoted above.) Coroner—Whst accompanied it? Witness—This parcel. (Witness produced a parcel, direct►d to Captain Edgecumbe.) Witness continued—The deceased was a married man, and lived happily_ together with his wife, excepting on matters of •ookery. _ _ (Here the Coroner opened the parcel alluded to above ; it con tained two books, one written by the deceased, and the other the work of A.ccurn, the chymist. It also contained several letters.) Coroner—Here is a letter, or copy of a letter, but I don't know whether I ought to read it or not; it is signed William Layman. Mr. Jones.—l should say that it is in the deceased's hand writing. __ Coroner.--Here is anotber, but they are in different bands. Mr. Jones.—This does not appear to be in his hand-writing. Mr. Holdship,thought it might be his daughter's writing, be, decided in the negative on looking at it. The Coroner read the copy aloud : it piwported to be a copy of a letter, dated March, 1822, and addressed to Admiral Sir George Cockburn, upon the subject of preserving the lives : of the seamen ; he also read (to himself) the letter which was proved to be in the hand-writing of the deceased. Mr. M. Jones said, he had known the deccaSed shout six months ; he rented a house of him from October, bet had since told witness he could no longer live there, as the cook behaved so b a dl y t o him. Witness questioned the cook upon the subjeCt; an d 4 h e could assign no reasonfor having provoked his displeaserei as he (the deceased) had presented her with a sovereign for her good behavour. The deceased, however, still complained of the cook, and witness took her into his own service. Deceased called at witness's house, and paid him what he owed him ; wit.. nose asked him if he intended leaving; and he replied, that h e did not know what to do; they wanted hint to be s►►nt to London, but he could not lire there, as it was all dirt and poison. If he went there he should be poisoned, as he could not eat any 'thing in London ; Mr. Accuni was the only man who knew aur thing upon that subject. Cheltenham (ths deceased said) Was the d--st place in all the world, the water was most filthy. Now (said Mr. Jones) it is very well known that. the water ,in Chelten.. ham is excellent. When it rained, the deceased used to send the cook to hold a dish under the aletis to catch the water. Witness was convinced that he was not of sound . mitid at the time be cone. *nutted the act. • The Coroner and Jury now proceeded to Woodland -cottag e to view the b o d y , w hi t h er it bad been remov e d, un d er t h e d i rection of Sir William . M e ta * Bert ' the chief magistrate. Th e l e f t s id e of the throat Presented a c*t of several inches in, length and depth, which must hive oicasioned almost instant death. On the return of the jury to the inn; the Coroner stated that there Wigs letter. (This was the letter which would d ou b t l ess - have thr own inch a li g ht upon the whole t rausast i on ; before he read it, he sired the court tabs cleared.) The Jury, a f ter a short v=0;14604, returned a verd i ct of , " Insanity. - de The Rey. Francis lee, who committed suicide in the Albany, was an M. A. of Cambridge.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, M 26 . This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges and Law Officers breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor, as usual, on ouch occasion. They afterwards proceeded to Lincoln's Inn Hall, where his Lordship read to them his Majesty's Commission. Ainutt half past one o'clock the Judges sat in their respective Courts. His Loanstar will sit in Lincoln's Inn to-morrow also, in consequence, we were told, of alterations going on in the Court at Westminster. Monday will be a dies non. On Tuesday it is expected he will sit at Westminster. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 26. This being the int day - of Trinity Term, the Judges, King's Counsel, &c., met the Lord Chancellor in Lincoln's Inn-halL— They remained so long that the Lord Chancellor could not hold his Court till one o'clock, and, having to leave again at two, the fol lowing was the only business done. The Report of the Governor of the Penitentiary at Millbank was then read, stating the names of the convicts in his custody. ROSINESS OF TUX COURT. The Loan Cuter Jos-nce, for the information of the bar, stated it to be the intention of the Court during the present term, to take the peremptory paper on Mondays, the special paper on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the new trial paper on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; but this would not interfere with the arrangement of last term, for taking motions of course every morning before 10 o'clock. Two young gentlemen of the name of Jocelyn, and another of the name of Fitch, who were brought into Court by the gaoler of Chelmsford gaol, to whose custody they had been committed on a charge of manslaughter, were, on the application of Mr. Brodrick, admitted to bail, in four sureties of 1001. each. THE KING V. HENNAIi. The ATTORNEY-GENERat, during the last term, obtained a rule, calling upon the defendant to show' cause why an information, in the nature of a quo warranto, should not be filed against him, calling on him to show by what authority he exercised the office of mayor of the borough of Treguny, in Cornwall. _ _ Mr. ScAui.m, Mr. Anasi, - and Mr. BROUGHAM, now showed cause against the rule; and the Arrortaxr-Gaszum. and Mr. DAMPIER having been beard in support of it, The LORD Cum , JUSTICIC stated, that without expressing any opinion u to the validity• of the defendant's election, he was of opinion that the rule must be discharged.—Rule discharged ac cordingly. gcanurr moved for s rule to show cause why a mandamus should not be granted to the Mayor and Burgesses of Falmouth, to command them to assess certain person, within the precincts of the Borough, to rates front which they were at present exempted, contrary to a certain Act of Parliament relating to the said Borough.--Rule granted. BUCK V. STACY. Mr. HAIM moved for en order to discharge as Injunction ob tained by Mr. Horne ex-parts a few days ago, on behalf of the plaintiff, to restrain the defendant from completing the building of a house in Norwich. Mr. Hart was quite sure that the Court had been surprised into. making the order, otherwise the Court never would have done it. Upon obtaining the injunction, it was stated that the defendant had pulled down some premises, and was rebuilding them in a way to obstruct ancient lights and air pas sages belonging to the plaintiff, that bad not been übstrected befiws; but the fact was, that the raising of the premise, had been com pleted several days before the application was made here. This, the Learned Counsel considered was a sufficient ground for dia. solving the injunction, and leaving the plaintiff to proceed at law, if the defendant had improperly raised the house. By the injunc tion the finishing of - the himse was stayed, and if that were to be continued, irreparable mischief would result. to the tisk:ids:as workshops. • Mr. Giam,esrom was on the same side. Mr. HORNY.., contra, denied having taken the Court by sur prise, the projected work was not begun till the td of April last, raised to its pressut height by,the 9th of May, and the injunction wee granted on the 12th ; but Mr. lioiont denied that the work had finished when the injunction was granted. His LOILDSHIP ordered this to come on first to-day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAv 26. This being the first day of Trinity Tenn, the Judges did not take their seats in Coutt until a late hour. After the justifications of bail were gone throagh, their Lord ship* took common motions. TI►CKZA /I. WRIGHT. Mr. Sergeant TADDY moved in thil case for a• rule to show came why two picas of " starlet lumina cloth" should not be brought into Court. The Loan CHIEFJUSTICE—HaV O we a warehouse? Mr. Sergeant TADDT—Tho proceeding was not a novel arte: the facts of his case were these wife of the plaintiff had delivered to the defen►hmt two pieces of scarlet cloth, for deeper pose of covering some chairs: he used a part of it for that pur pose, and sent the chairs home ; but afterwards went to the house of the plaintiff and took them away : an action of trespass was brought against him at the last anises for Hampshire, and the plaintiff had II verdict, with 2001. damagee. The plaintiff had now brought an action of Oliver, to recover the remainder of the two pieces of morine cloth, which the defendant considered he had a lien upon, as the plaintiff owed him at the time 1501. The defendant had since become insolvent. He apprehended their Lordships would grant the motion, on the authority " Pickering V. Truss," 7 Teim Itep., 49. There were also other cases in Cook's Reports, one of which was for bringing into court two fowl,: there was another, for a feather bed ; and another would he found in the books, for bringing into court a spare-rib of pork. The defendant sold a part of the• cloth, which he was willing to Pay fori and to give up the remainder.-41otion granted. CONSISTORY COURT, MAT 26. TIM KARL OF TORT/MOUTH, BY HIS,COSIMITTNI, AGAINST HAAT INN HANSON, FALSILT CALLING )INASELF COUNMS or The monition for the taxation of costs, as against the husband, which in a preceding term had been directed to issue (in this suit for divorce) against the lion. Henry FeHowes, committee of the person and estate of the lunatic, was brought in this day. The Proctor, for Mr. FeHowes put in an affidavit from that gentleman, alleging that his control over the residue of the funds of the Earl of Portsmouth's estate (after providing for the vs pences of the Earl and Countess) was strictly limited by the orders of the Lord. Chancellor, which did not, as be was advised, autho rize him to apply any portion, of those funds to defraying the ex pellees incurred by the Countess in her defence against this suit, as directed by the Court. H e a dd e d, t h at a f ter receiving intima tion of this proceeding, he had petitioned the Lord Chancellor for instructions, which petition was still depending in the Court of Chancery. Further proceedings will take place next Court day. MS MAJESTY'S COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS.
